What's the job market like in Brisbane?

[dawn1]

I’m looking for a decent 9-5 in a human resources role, not particularly fussed about the company or industry, that will allow me a good work-life balance. Does Brisbane have a good job market for positions like that?

like the rest of the job market in australia at the moment it's in a bit of stagnation.. i can't speak specifically about HR but i know people are not loving the job market here at the moment. Brisbane is great though, contact a big recruitment agency here like Hays and they'll set you straight

Hi Dawn,
the HR job market is challenging at present - ever since the downturn in mining although there are jobs advertised. Best to go direct to the companies you are interested in working for, especially if you have industry experience. Some are looking for internal recruiters. Good luck. A

Hi Dawn,

Much like Riley's response, the entire Job Market is in a bit of stagnation. The good thing about Human Resource as a skill set, is that is is highly applicable across industries and is therefore a very wide market.

Recruitment agencies are a good idea to get an understanding from professionals.
